New Year Intentions

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday, celebrating with friends and family or at least taking a really good nap;). The start of a new year is always a great time to reflect on what you want for yourself moving forward. I wrote a post on my favorite ARM WORKOUT, as health and fitness is a top resolution made by Americans each year. I also let you know January will be filled with lots of healthy living posts, so check back often.

I’m not big on resolutions. I guess if I were to make a 2018 New Year resolution, it would be the same as it’s been the past decade: to live a life I’m proud of.

I shared in this POST that I love to journal and really want this space to be more of that for my family.

There is one thing that’s been nagging at me and I do want to make clear, we are not a perfect family. I get comments and DM’s from readers asking for advice on being a mom and how my kids and I get along so great. The truth is we are flawed (I guess I should speak for myself and say I am flawed;)).

I’m sure I yell as much as any mom does. I have insecurities. Some nights my fears keep me up worrying about things out of my control. I ground my kids and there are many days when I don’t think they like me very much. We are a normal family, living the ebb and flow of family matters, just like you. I guess I just don’t ever want anyone to read this site or look at Instagram and compare or think we have life all figured out.

Going back to my “resolution” of living a life I’m proud of. Despite my flaws, I am proud. I’m proud that every day I want to be better, do better, live better. I’m proud that I love my newborn as much as I do teenagers who talk back to me;) I have a great life. I have so much to be grateful for and I am, grateful.

Life is far from simple. There are so many layers to each of us and our stories. Those layers are what make us each unique. I think that’s pretty cool! I appreciate all of you for being here. Thank you for reading the site and watching our videos. I hope we can inspire each other to LIVE A LIFE WE’RE PROUD OF.

Your depth, drive, creativity, kindness, and most of all transparency is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your sweet life and keeping it real for everyone, it is so needed in this world… especially on social media.:)
